  • I don’t think shape change materials are all that efficient. The problem being is you still need some mechanism to compress the material again, which obviously uses energy. As you say their main advantage is that they don’t use traditional refrigerants. But the trade-off for that is that they are mechanically more complicated and probably for any given amount of cooling will require more electricity.

    You can trade those off with renewable energy sources of course so it may still be worth it but technically they are worse efficiency than traditional vacuum pumps.





  • What job would I ever apply for that I didn’t have at least a ballpark for compensation to begin with?

    I’m not going to go through the entire interview process only to then find out that they are offering half of what I’m looking for.

    Sure I understand the company may not be able to give an exact price because what they’re prepared to offer will depend on what the other candidates are looking for and my experience level. But they should at least be able to tell me what the minimum and maximum values are, and they should at least be able to tell me approximately where I lie within that. If I have 10 plus years of experience in the industry then I would expect to be on the high end of that salary band, if you as a manager disagree, then that’s something we’re going to have a talk about right now.


  • Have you ever managed to get robots? I feel like the managers dream of effective and obedient workers is impossible. It’s like the triangle.

    You have competence, cheapness, and honesty, pick 2.

    Is the workers being done and they are doing so cheaply then you can guarantee they’re either stealing from you or would be perfectly happy to take bribes.

    If you’ve got an honest effective workforce then you’re going to have to pay for it.

    And if you’ve got a cheap and honest workforce they are absolutely not doing the job correctly (and you’re probably hiring consultants from Bangladesh or something)

    I also don’t think its the government’s business should I decide to buy a gun what I intend to do with it.

    Personally I feel that if you’re buying a gun someone should know why, and who else better than the government?

    You already ID people for buying knives, and you limit how many packs of painkillers people can purchase. I don’t see why it’s necessarily any different for a gun.

    Do you know what violent people who do not have access to guns are? Extremely annoying. That it. Then you called the police who come and deal with them. There are so many idiots that are still alive today who’s drunken escapades would have got them shot in the United States rather than a stint in the cells to sober up.
